The central or most prominent part of the distended portion of the capsule is chosen for perforation and an area of an inch and a half in diameter is shaved. The skin is cleansed and then painted with tincture of iodin. The sterile aspirating needle is pushed through the tissues and into the capsule with a sudden thrust.

In addition to aspirating synovia, the introduction of equal parts of alcohol and tincture of iodin into the theca is necessary. The quantity of this combination injected, depends upon the size of the sheath affected and the amount of synovia retained at the time injection is made.

The Londoners, who look down with contempt upon all that have not been bred and born within the sound of Bow, talk with unconscious absurdity of weal and winegar, and vine and vindors, and idears, and ask you owyou do? and 'ave ye bin taking the hair in 'yde park? and 'as your 'orse 'ad any hoats, &c.? aspirating always where they should not, and never aspirating where they should.

From two to five cubic centimeters of U.S.P. tincture of iodin is injected through the aspirating needle into the synovial cavity of the joint, and the exterior of the parts are vigorously massaged immediately after injection to stimulate distribution of the iodin throughout the synovial cavity.

A better specimen can sometimes be obtained by puncturing an enlarged lymph gland with a hypodermic needle, injecting a few minims of sterile saline solution and then aspirating the blood-stained fluid. The Wassermann test must not be relied upon for diagnosis in the early stage, as it does not appear until the disease has become generalised and the secondary manifestations are about to begin.

No malice, I hope? said the man, extending a hand the size of the yellow clump of fingers which sometimes swings over a glover's door. 'Certainly not, said Mr. Pickwick, with great alacrity; for, now that the excitement was over, he began to feel rather cool about the legs. 'Allow me the H-onour, said the gentleman with the whiskers, presenting his dexter hand, and aspirating the h.

At the bottom of the cylinder there was another smaller one, also provided with a piston. This was the aspirating cylinder, which drew hydrogen from an inflated bag, and mixed it with twice its bulk of air by means of a two-way cock. The ignition of the detonating mixture was effected by an electric spark. It is said that the inventor applied his apparatus to a small locomotive. In 1820 Mr.

If in spite of all the therapeutic measures suggested, the fluid increases and the pericardium becomes more distended and the heart's action more labored, paracentesis must be done. The point at which the aspirating needle should be inserted into the pericardium depends somewhat on the conditions in each individual case. It is often best to insert an exploratory needle first.

Now, Polly, be careful, and don't say anything rash, because this is very serious." "Oh yes, Sir Orkus." "Dear me, Doctor," said the General apologetically, "I am sorry we have no h's here." "Pray go on, Sir Hawkhurst," said the Doctor, smiling, and aspirating both in the name forcibly. "Now, Polly, should you know that watch?"

He therefore invented a form of aspirating thermometer, the earliest to be met with, and far in advance of any that were subsequently used by other scientists. It consisted of a polished tube, in which thermometers were enclosed, and through which a stream of air was forced by bellows.
